From your other posts on the 14" edge I am guessing you really want one so get it already. When you get the chance put it up against a RCOS,Tak or AP scope so you are better able to judge the difference between average and top shelf scopes, there is a reason why they are far more expensive. Fact is meade and celestron produce a budget scope that is usually good value for the price. The rest of it is just marketing hype dream't up by the spin doctors in either company. Celestron do not have the worlds best optical systems but then neither does meade.

Hi Mark,
I get your point, however please tell me why a Celestron Cge 1400 HD is 10,000 bucks and a Meade 14" LX200ACF is only $7,000? I think it's either (probably) the quality of the OTA or the missing German equatorial mount . (Check out this article I posted earlier and tell me what you think of it:

All the best
